What Types of Flooring Work Well for Basements?
Epoxy flooring is often utilized as a way to make a basement floor more serviceable and appealing; concrete should be perfectly clean and should be sealed well before application of epoxy or it will not form a bond. Rubber flooring is an option, especially if the basement is to be used as a workshop or home gymnasium center. Resilient sheet flooring or laminates should generally only be installed over a floating sub-floor; tile also will require some sort of a sub-floor if the existing floor is seeping moisture. Poly-plastic moisture barrier sheeting can often be used under tile installations to prevent damage from minor moisture problems.
